Radio Frequencies
Your Honda's radio can tune in all
frequencies in both the AM and FM
bands.
Those bands cover these frequen-
cies:
AM band:530 to 1,710 kilohertz
FM band:
87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned frequencies at least 10
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Those on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2 megahertz
apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3). Stations must use these exact
frequencies. It is fairly common forstations to round-off the frequency in
their advertising, so your radio will show a frequency of 100.9 even
though the announcer may call the
station "FM101."
